* The diagram (translated) represents the coral under the naval base planned area:“…about 2km seawall will be constructed in front of the sea of the Gangjeong village, and the whole planned area for the naval base will be 480,000m2 that is the combined size of the 67soccer playground. And about the half of it will be by reclamation…Specially, the Seoguipo Sea that includes the planned area for the naval base is designated with five different protection areas such as the UNESCO bio-protection area.” (See in detail)

Jeju is the island inside the red circle above. To the left is mainland China. To the right is Japan. China imports 80% of its oil along the seaway beside Jeju Island. The U.S. Navy obviously relishes the idea of one more Navy base in the region that would enable it to choke off China's importation of oil thus giving the U.S. the "keys" to China's economic engine. You can see that this Navy base will dramatically widen already dangerous tensions in the region (Bruce Gagnon)제주도는위에서붉은원안의섬입니다. 왼쪽으로는중국본토가있고오른쪽으로는일본이있읍니다. 중국은 80%의석유를제주도옆의바닷길을통해수입합니다. 미해군은그지역에중국의석유수입을목조이는것을가능하게해서미국에게중국의경제적엔진의“열쇠들”을줄해군기지를하나더가질구상에분명히입맛을다십니다. 여러분은이지역의해군기지가이미위험한긴장들을넓힐것이란것을분명히알수있읍니다.

'Mayor Kang Dong Kyun was clearly piercing through the behind of the Jeju naval base construction business of which [the navy and government claim] to bring up as the ‘civilian-military complex tourism-beauty harbor’, than anybody. The Jeju naval base business committee is planning to pay 958 billion won [about $831million] by 2014 to construct the naval base where 20 naval vessels including the Aegis Destroyer and two cruise-the biggest would be 150, 000 t level –could be moored at the same time, in the area of the Gangjeong village, Seogwipo city.

“It is nothing but a declaration of war against the powerful countries in the vicinity, to build the naval base in the Jeju Island now. The naval base constructed in the Jeju Island [would be] the outpost base of the United States. It would not be the self-reliance national defense but the outpost base that the United States would use to oppress the whole South East Asia and the North East Asia. If that happens, South Korea, especially the Jeju Island would do nothing but the role of the agent following the logic of power by the United States.” (mayor Kang Dong Kyun)'______________________________________________________________________________
